Love from friends

The Nourish Body and Soul retreat was everything I was hoping for and more. It was set at beautiful Trinity Gardens in Ubud, where the scenery was like nothing else. We enjoyed plant based meals 3 times a day that could easily be modified and we never had the same meal twice. The highlight for me was the introduction to spirituality. Ilse planned so many great classes or activities that are truly special. It widen my understanding on myself and others. Ilse is an amazing person who truly cares about others and wanting them to be them best selves. I can’t wait to go back again. 

My decision to go on the private retreat was quite last minute and solely based on the positive vibe I got after going over the entire website and being in contact with Ilse. I just had to go! And I’m so happy I did. I just feel revived. Ilse and the other people who contribute to the retreat have made that happen. Also, the surroundings, delicious food, yoga, massages, spirituality, culture and alone time; it was all perfectly in balance and really nourished my body and soul. Ilse is an amazing person who carefully selects everything involved in the creation of this retreat and she made me feel welcome from the start. I could finally be at ease with myself, relax and enjoy the little things in life again. The tools I got during and also after the retreat help me stay in that happy place while being back in the fast paced western world. Ilse, I can’t thank you enough for this eye opening experience and hope to see you again soon!

From the moment I met Ilse I felt a special bond, her warm smile and angelic eyes. Her presence was so calming, her energy so spiritual, her softness with grace. Ilse went above and beyond to support the ladies and I during the retreat. I just knew I came to the right place. We stayed at the trinity gardens located in Ubud. On arrival, magic filled the air and gave me goosebumps which lead tears to my eyes. I had to pinch myself because it felt like a dream. Was so humbled by the beauty of our surroundings, the lush jungle, rice fields and the butterflies that filled the air. I highly recommend Nourish, Body and Soul retreat to anyone who needs to take some time to recharge, detox, and reconnect with themselves. Illse’s retreat is just what I needed to help me reconnect after a stressful year. It encouraged me to live a more healthy lifestyle and become more in touch nature and allowing me to be present. I now feel rejuvenated and got the clarity I needed. To all the amazing staff, thank you for your time, your kindness and allowing us to feel safe and at ease. Thank you for all our conversations, you felt like family to me. I absolutely adore everyone involved on our journey, there were many happy tears that I will forever cherish on this life changing trip. Thank you Ilse for making this retreat so perfect 

I first met Ilse in a group yoga class that she was teaching. Amazed by her energy I took a private yoga class with her and was blown away! I love the way she jokes around but then on the other hand be serious in adjusting not only yoga poses but also life perspectives.

It’s strange to be passive in Ubud, the landscape of yoga where you find more yoga teachers than coconuts. After one month of passive mood with my body, I’ve found this super women. She is the most patience yoga teacher that I’ve met in my life. U’ll like her knowledge about this amazing activity. 
